I am privy to a lot of fantastic city views as someone who gets to shoot in a variety of venues. And what a beautiful city we live in! I’m so lucky to live here. These night exposures were taken on some recent shoots. Some exposures are as long as 30 seconds, so obviously a tripod or flat balcony railing (hang on tight to your camera!) come in handy. In a […]
SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) has been one of our favorite clients over the past ten years. They recently brought us in to cover another one of their Family Day events. We always appreciate how SFMOMA provides family activities influencing San Francisco’s artistic culture (and the kids always have a blast too!). Target was a great sponsor for the event and a pleasure to […]
Recently, Zenfolio posted a blog entry where they interviewed me about event photography. It was fun talking to the Zenfolio team, whom we’ve developed a close relationship with since we use them for online hosting and sell prints and other photo-products through their service. They are a really solid platform and they have a great value proposition with lots of features always being added and it’s really […]
People are often fascinated by the gear we carry and I know a ton of photographers who are total gearheads. I admit that I also enjoy seeing what gear other photographers are using although ultimately it’s more the eye and creativity from the mind that matters more than what you are using. That being said, there are a lot of cool and […]
We get asked a lot about onsite printing, and at several presentations I’ve given in the past the first question is almost inevitably “what gear do you use?” Of course photographers are often very interested in gear, and ever since the advent of digital and the advances in technology in general, the gear seems to change at an ever faster rate. Since it’s important to ourselves and […]
We had a blast at the “Summer Picnic” industry event for our friends at Fort Mason Center in the old Firehouse. Kara’s Cupcakes, Best Beverage Catering, Classic Party Rentals, Winery Collective, Global Gourmet Catering, McCalls Catering & Events, Beautifull, and Fingersnaps were all there to partake in the picnic splendor -lavender lemonade, […]
We had a great time shooting the ISES Napa-Sonoma Chapter Annual Awards Dinner which was held at the Vintners Golf Club in Yountville. It was a perfect day and the golf tournament that kicked off the event was a lot of fun with several holes in one being sunk. The new board was sworn in and various awards were given out and we are so honored to have […]
The 2010 MPINCC Annual Gala and Silent Auction was held at the San Francisco Design Center and was one of the best industry parties in quite some time. Of course it’s that season and the ISES-NCC gala is also upcoming so don’t miss out on that. Back to MPI, there was so much going on all night including an awesome electronic auction system […]
If you work in hospitality in the Bay Area then you most likely know (or should know) who Chip Conley is. I won’t go into his back story but he’s the founder of Joie De Vivre Hotels, one of the top boutique hotel chains around(and based here in San Francisco).
A while back my business partner Jack read Conley’s book Peak: How Great Companies Get Their […]
So the big news has been out for a bit now, but we were on hand to take the press shots of Fritz Maytag, Keith Greggor and Tony Foglio that went along with the announcement. It was an honor to meet Mr. Maytag who’s really humble and soft spoken. As someone who thoroughly enjoys beer (and especially craft brews) I owe thanks to Mr. Maytag.
The shot above was one of the […]
